The Federal Kingdom of Nortem (FKN) / El Reino Federal de Nortem (RFN)
“Adversus Solem Maior Quam Umquam.” ~ National motto of the Federal Kingdom of Nortem.
The Federal Kingdom of Nortem, Dios nos bendiga, is the only nation in the continent of Nortem. The federal Kingdom of Nortem is the direct descendant of the Kingdom of Castellum under King Jorge I Gascon of Nortem, king of Nortem and ruler of all Castellum.
In prop-punk, it is owned by @TnTav8 and it was one of the first nations to be submitted and canonized. During Proppunk 1.0, it was known as the Republic of Castilla, then pre-reset as the Kingdom of Castilla, and finally as the Federal Kingdom of Nortem. The name "Castille" was originally chosen by TnT because he is a proud Spanish patriot, in fact, Castille was originally somewhat of a joke, though as it was canonized, it became a serious nation.
History of Nortem
Pre-unification history
Arrival to Nortem
Before time had a name, the Gorritari people and the Proto-Al-Marka (or Proto-Marka for short) people lived in Nortem, not much is known about how or when they arrived.
The Proto-Marka most of Nortem, from the farthest point of Al-Jazur to the southernmost island of the Canarias.
The Gorritari people on the other hand only lived in the northern-most parts of Nortem, from now Irrapalde Bastatuna to Krajev.
Around 500 BC, the Latins (Populus Maris, later renamed Populus Aurea) arrived at the inhabited ínsula áurea and then formed the Grand Kingdom of Auropolis [Magnum Regnum Auropolis] (GKA/MRA).
There is limited local written history, as much of it had been destroyed in the later Astropolis fire or not written at all. Most of the knowledge came from oral tradition and folklore.

146: Astropolis burns. In a sick tragedy, an estimated 400,000 people die in a colossal fire in Astropolis. Auropolis is enraged and bad actors decide to blame it on the Tsóklas states and declare war on a Tsóklas coalition of sorts:

158: The Declaration of Reconstruction Nations into regions renamed to Latinized names, Martem and Tachum cut into two from which was founded the Principality of Castellum. And from Aguinem and Cornem, the principality of Marques was founded. These states were founded where some Populus maris settled before being subjugated by Tsóklas nations.
191: Sagunt Caesar forms a coup d’etat and turns the Grand Kingdom of Auropolis into the Empire of Aurientalis [Imperium Aurientalis], Absorbs the remaining Tsóklas states under his hand, and builds a Great Wall (Magnus Murus) around the border with the hostile Proto-Marka, Tsóklas, and Gorritari nations.

On the other side of Nortem, in a valley, in Tsóklas territory, another settlement of the Populus Maris, a revolt is formed, for they won't be repressed. Valderbleu rise!
